Love the alcohol coloring of the white embossed sentiment. Also the vellum tip.

I find all of your tips great, just commenting on the ones that were standing out to me:
1) Definitely make your own card bases. Even though I'm in Germany, I do make a lot of US A2 cards.
I found that Hammermill Color Copy Digital Cover, 100lb, 250 Sheets is the best value you can get with free shipping to Germany.
It currently ends up at 16 cts/sheet, which is great for the letter format we don't get over here. And it is very good cardstock for blending, also.
5) Using Press'n'seal for what it was meant for - sealing! That is definitely a "why didn't I ever ..." thing. I've had so many pots dying on my. No more!
9) This wowed me so! My favorite.
15) Or maybe this may be my fave. Such a game changer!
Thanks for sharing these tip!

Liked the tip on not pressing too hard on sentiment stamps to prevent smudging.

This was a terrific video! I’ve been making cards for 20 years and found quite a few VERY helpful hints! This old dog learned a few new tricks! Thanks!

Two tips new to me...coloring white embossed sentiments with alcohol ink and embossing vellum with a sheet of card stock. Thank you for the tips.

Thank you very much for all the great tips. The use of baseball card holders I saw on a previous video was the greatest tip I have ever found. I stamp my sentiments and cut out some dies and put them in my binder by topic. Saved me HOURS and so much frustration! Sometimes I label them with the stamp set I used. So many stamp sets have sentiments, but I can't remember where they are when I need them. Now I just stamp some so I can go to my "baseball" sheets notebook and get them. I also use photo holders for larger dies or stamped images, Helped me so much!

My favorites are a tie between #4 (flipped pine stencil with lighter and darker greens) and #15 (No-crack embossed vellum, with a two-fer of embossed 65# white). 💃😎💙

Love the vellum embossing tip - will definitely try it!

[dawnspeed]

Just wanted to say that I keep all my sentiments etc in a pocket folder now. Such a fab idea to be able to look through
